Located on a tree-lined street in the seaside suburb of Eastbourne, Matipo House was designed to support a restful retirement and a return ‘home’ for its owners. The new dwelling replaces a vacant double site, creating a modest yet contemporary home with a strong mid-century influence.

Welcome to a dreamscape where sea meets structure — this two-story residential complex on Abu Musa Island draws its lifeblood from the Persian Gulf’s vibrant coral world. Yellow corals, glowing anemones, bright orange sea sponges dusted with yellow spores, and flickers of sea sapphire come to life not in the water.

Named Coral House because of its coral floors and decks, this seaside home is intimately tied to nature from its conception. From the choice of the coral stone that our client loved so much, to the design that was worked around all the existing palm trees, so that none had to be cut down.
